Quite frankly I'm going to have a lot of trouble voting for one team vs. the other. So many good fits on both sides. How do you quantify that?

I think the best idea would be to set up the voting so that you can only cast one vote, for one individual. Then either add up the total votes per team (probably the fairest), or declare the winner to be the team whose member got the most votes.

Do the standard multiple vote thing, and average all the votes per side, since total votes doesn't account for different numbers of entries. So US might have 12 entries, each drawing an average of 5.3 votes, while the Foreigners might have 15 entries with an average rating of 4.9. That way, we get an individual winner to pick next week's challenge and a team winner.

oh, apparently you can only have one poll in a thread. so its just vote for the team here. maybe whichever team wins can decide how to pick a winner. maybe a flash poll for a day or something. whatever, we can deal with that later.
